Surfer rights ?

Following on from the post re:- schools and their rights over their systems, I found this on Symantec's site. It is set in Europe, so some of the law might not travel, but it makes for interesting reading, I like the fact that the employers CANNOT read your EMails. Not that mine are 'bad', but they are MINE, ALL MINE ................... MuHAHAHAHAHAH

According to the court, an e-mail remains private correspondence even if it is sent from the workplace. So personal surfing at the workplace has even been accepted by the courts, provided it remains within the bounds of reason.

That don't hold water here... At work a huge splash screen comes on then a the giahugical warning about no expectation of privacy and that's it's our network and computer, and we may monitor all traffice etc....
